Are your live online training programs designed for a global
audience? Do your global participants feel comfortable in your virtual classes?
Have you planned activities that resonate with cross-cultural learners? Since
virtual training allows you to easily reach your global workforce, it’s easy to
include everyone on the invitation. But if your program design doesn’t account
for international and cultural differences, then your learning outcomes and
results will fall short.

This interactive session will go beyond the obvious and get
into the practical details of how to design, develop, and facilitate virtual
training programs that cross cultural boundaries. You will learn five design
techniques to create interactive sessions when learners virtually converge from
geographically dispersed locations. In addition, you will learn three virtual
facilitation tips for engaging culturally diverse learners, and you’ll explore
how to create comfortable and inclusive virtual learning environments. You will
leave this session with a design checklist and facilitation action plan that you
can immediately apply to your next virtual training class.

In this session, you
will learn:

Five techniques to design virtual sessions with
a global mindset

How to apply cultural adaptations to virtual
training designs

How to create a comfortable learning environment
for all participants, including international attendees

Three tips on virtual facilitation for engaging
diverse learners
